Why the comparison between color and HD had a clear winner

I figure that once they get all those hi-bandwidth satellites up there and I can get all my network shows in HD from that instead of from my antenna - and as long as they don't starve the signal like a few broadcasters are doing, then I will get cable or sat. Hell maybe even all the cable shows will be in HD eventually. Or even really GOOD looking SD. THEN it's worth it to me to take down my antenna. Till then I ain't gonna pay them 30 bucks a month to watch their half-ass blocky-looking 'digital quality' satellite shows and then have to get my HD from my own antenna anyway. I've seen satellite quality on my relatives tv's and compared to OTA HD or even OTA SD, it just plain sucks. Most people have cable or satellite, and most people eat at Mcdonalds. When Mcdonalds starts serving much better stuff, I'll eat there. Till then I cook my own stuff (antenna)
(oh ok this was for illustration, I eat at Mc'ds once in a while! : )
